Retouched flint, Mark Farm, Castle Kennedy

Period:

Neolithic

Description:

A selection of flint flakes that have been retouched by blunting
and shaping one or more edges. They would have been used for
a range of activities.

Hundreds of flint tools were found in ploughed fields at Mark
Farm in the 1930s. They mark the site of a fairly large
Neolithic settlement. Many of these flints were collected by
local farm workers and given to the local minister, R. G.
Anderson.
